Caput 58: The Templar Blasphemy
(2026)(Book 23 in the Templars and the American Ark of the Covenant series)
A novel by David S Brody and Kimberly A Scott
Historians have long debated what caused the Catholic Church to outlaw the Knights Templar in 1307. After a decade of research—including a deep dive into the unsolved Gardner Museum art heist—Templar expert Cameron Thorne has finally solved the mystery: The Templars were secretly worshiping a female skull known as Caput 58. It is a revelation that a group of religious zealots has violently worked to suppress for 700 years. Now that violence is directed at Cam—he has learned too much about this mysterious head, putting him at risk of losing his own.
